DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED FOR THIS COMIC!
origin & 1st app. of Superman by Siegel and ShusterThe most important comic book in history, Action #1 stands as the introduction of the archetype of all other heroes to come as Superman transcends comics and pop culture as an icon of truth, justice, and the American way!
Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman is quite possibly the most recognizable fictional character in the world. The brainchild of two struggling sci-fi fans from the Rust Belt, the Man of Steel became an instant icon to Depression-era readers and transformed into a symbol of national spirit and spunk during the brutal days of WWII. Since then, he has endured as both a beloved character and an embodiment of hope and vigor, making this first appearance not just a piece of comics' history, but of American history as well.
This is your chance! It's not like these things grow on trees, though it may seem that way if you've been following the ComicConnect.com Event Auctions for the last year! Here is the 5th copy we have offered for sale in the last year and a half. 3 in 3.0 - 15 higher.
This is a knockout of a copy. A truly affordable copy of Action #1! This 3.0 has the eye appeal of a higher grade. "I've held this book in my hands outside of the CGC holder and it is remarkable. Great paper, supple pages, good color and completely unrestored" stated ComicConnect.com COO, Vincent Zurzolo.
